    This document provides background information on head lice and discusses creating a natural treatment using kamias and ginger. It begins by describing head lice and their life cycle, noting that current treatments cause anxiety. The study aims to determine the types and effects of head lice, the severity of the issue, and components in kamias and ginger that could treat head lice. It proposes that a combination of kamias and ginger may effectively treat head lice through their antibacterial and circulatory-boosting properties. The hypothesis is that a 100% kamias and 50% ginger solution will most effectively kill head lice.

    CHAPTER I

    INTRODUCTION

    I. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

    Head lice are wingless insects spending their entire lives on the human scalp and feeding

    exclusively on human blood. Humans are the only known host of this specific parasite while

    chimpanzees host a closely related species, pediculus schaeffi. Other species of lice infest most

    orders of mammals and all others of birds, as well as other parts of the human body.

    Lies differ from other hematophagic ectoparasites such as fleas in spending their entire

    life cycle on a host. Head lice cannot fly, and their short, stumpy legs render them incapable of

    jumping, or even walking efficiently on a flat surfaces.

    The non-disease-carrying head louse differs from the related disease carrying body louse

    (pediculus humanus humanus) in preffering to attack eggs to scalp hair rather than to clothing.

    The two subspecies are morphologically almost identical, but do not normally interbreed,

    although they will do so in laboratory conditions. From genetic studies, they are thought to have

    diverged as subspecies about 30,000-110,000 years ago, when many human begun to wear a

    significant amount of clothing a much more instantly related species of hair-clinging louse.

    However, in the case of head lice, there are treatments that could possibly help humans to

    solve their problem regarding on those species.

    Head lice infestation is associated with limited morbidity but causes a high abstract level

    of anxiety among parents of school-aged children. Since the 2010 clinical report on head lice was

    published by the American Academy of Pediatrics, newer medications have been approved for

    the treatment of head lice. This revised clinical report clarifies current diagnosis and treatment
    protocols and provides guidance for the management of children with head lice in the school

    setting.

    Averrhoa ballimbi (kamias) is a small tree, growing 5 to 12 meters high. Leaves are

    pinnate, 20 to 60 centimeters long, with hairy rachis and leaflets. Leaflets are opposite, 10 to 17

    pairs, oblong, 5 to 10 centimeters in length. Panicles growing from the trunk and larger branches

    are hairy, 15 centimeters long or less. Flowers are about 1.5 centimeters long, and slightly

    fragrant. Fruit is a green and edible, about 4 centimeters long, subcylindric, or with 5 obscure,

    broad, rounded, longitudinal lobes. Considered antibacterial, astringent, antiscorbutic, febrifuge,

    antidiabetic, stomachic, refrigerant. Fruit considered astringent, refrigerant and stomachic.

    Studies haves shown antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic, antioxidant, antifertility and

    antibacterial properties.

    Statement of the Problem

    This study aims create a safe treatment that could help minimize the problem about head

    lice affecting one’s health

    It seeks to answer the following questions:

    1.) What are the kinds of head lice? And its effect to humans health

    2.) How serious is the problem of head lice?

    3.) What is present in kamias and ginger to be a head lice treatment?

    Scope and Delimitations

    This study focuses on creating a treatment that much safer and available for head lice, to

    contribute and help especially students who is currently suffering from having head lice.
    Significance of the Study

    This study will be advantageous to the literature of having a management and treatment to head

    lice, head lice infestations can be prevented, because young children come into head-to-head

    contact with each other frequently.

    The result of the study is Beneficial to the various sectors as follows:

    Students. This study benefit the students, especially the primary student to their problem about

    head lice, especially when their health is being affected.

    Parents. This research also benefits the parents by having an effective treatment that is cheaper

    and much more safe for their children suffering from head lice problem.

    Environment. This study will be beneficial to the environment, for it requires natural product of

    nature.

    Future Researchers. This study can help future researchers in the value and effectiveness of

    ginger and kamias.

    VI. Definition of Terms

     Averrhoa ballimbi - is a small tree, growing 5 to 12 meters high. Leaves are pinnate, 20

    to 60 centimeters long, with hairy rachis and leaflets.

     Head louse- The head louse is an obligate ectoparasite of humans that causes head lice

    infestation.

     Hematophagic/hematophagy- is the practice by certain animals of feeding on blood.

     Ectoparasite- An ectoparasite is a parasite that lives externally on another animal, but

    does not kill it

     Pediculus schaeffi- Citation information points to the most recent interpretation of the

    taxon name (not the original, which is absent from the sucking louse checklist).
    Theoretical and Conceptual Framework

    it improves
    circulation
    and leaves
    your hair
    feeling tingly
    with a fresh
    smell.

    kamias or bilimbi. The Ginger has essential fatty


    sour fruit is a natural kamias and ginger acids, which prevent
    source of vitamins B as a head lice your hair from
    and C, iron, phosphorus treatment thinning. Ginger also cures
    and antioxidants. which dandruff since it has a natural
    will help in combating antiseptic that controls scalp
    head lice problems.

    contains
    circulatory
    agents that
    stimulate the
    flow of blood on
    the scalp,
    increasing blood
    circulation

    Hypothesis

    The 25% of kamias and 25% of ginger is not effective as and lice treatment.

    The 50% kamias solution including its leaves and 50% of ginger including its skin

    is not effective.

    100% of kamias and 50% of ginger including its skin is the most effective to kill

    head lices.
